      Where are we reading the end of the war is near? I know not truth social.

      Coordinated bot effort to frame a restatement of Iran’s President (not in control of government) saying that they’re willing to end war with guarantees. It’s just that the guarantees are a non starter for the U.S. and we’ll be conducting a limited invasion of some islands and raids into the coast lines at great cost with no guarantee of opening the straight of Hormuz

      Not until those marines return home and those ships return to port.

      Until then, I will assume that Trump will do another 180 in the next 24-48 hours.

      Even if we do end it, Iran is now in a stronger position than when we left; it controls the Strait, proved it can make the US stand down, and now has a hardened and consolidated regime that will be even *more* antagonistic against US interests…because they just got proof that it works.

      Yeah I saw this spike and I was like was there some announcement. Nothing I could find, so what’s this based on?

      We either need to surrender to a second world country and pay massive amounts of compensation for blowing up 600+ schools, or we need to leave our allies high and dry while tanking global markets. Idk if “optimism” is the right word.

      I have a feeling the big wall street trading houses are so enamored with authoritarianism that they prop up the market whenever dear leader speaks. 

      it’s crazy

      Fake news, trump has been consistently manipulating markets from the last week and still many people have not realized it yet

      The stock market riding waves based on truth social posts proves we’re beyond banana republic territory

    9. That’s not optimism. It’s delusion.

      And why is still be called war? Nothing about it has come close to resembling war. The US and Israel went in unprovoked, Iran just, minding its own damn business when the attack began.

      Which by the way, is where the delusion comes in as, repurcusions from the attack are going to be dragging on the market for months to come if not years.

      But here we are in an age of market must go up overrides actual god damn real world outcomes and consequences. It’s all so stupid.

      Donald Trump does not have the final say on the end of the war. Enjoy going bankrupt with the new pump and dump.

      sold out their indian shares to try to salvage the usa markets all to try to appear like the war and the epstein files aren’t about to tank them completely.

      Market manipulation.

      News is hyping up Trump saying. “We’ll just leave the strait closed and end the war by pulling out of the middle east, let everyone else force it open.”

      And. “President of Iran says hes open to negotiating.”

      Key points from the president of Iran though.

      1. Its not up to him, its up to the Supreme leader and IRGC.
      2. He’s already said he demands payments for all damage and for full sanctions relief and to pursue whatever nuclear objective they want and USA has no say in anything.

      Essentially, people are using these two and trying to market manipulate to lower oil and raise the market. Oil went down to 101 from 104 and its already going up. And the dow jumped 900 points, but it will probably be much lower as people realize this is just Trump manipulating the market again.

      The move is sticky. Not like others we saw (like last Thursday). What makes this one different? Sources are limited.

    14. motherseffinjones on

      Lmao the market still takes Trump at his word all while more American combat troops are moving into the region

    15. Like clockwork lmao I feel like I’ve seen this once a week minimum the last 3 weeks

    16. El_Senior_XP on

      Crazy how geopolitics is basically driving the whole market right now instead of fundamentals.

    17. Have we learned yet that market manipulation is real. The pandora box has been opened and no “thoughts and prayers” are going to reverse the destruction to the future prospects of US companies.

      Unless a severe devaluation in the USD is being priced into stock prices there is no way the future value of the S&P 500 is stronger today than 2024. So we have not seen a correction and nowhere near the bottom of this mess.

      Iran just announced targeting of American companies in the middle east starting tomorrow. So …. Yeah…
